Title: HHB Reflex/Deflex design made by Hunterbob
Post by: Buffalogobbler on January 21, 2017, 08:21:03 pm

I just wanted to post this for Hunterbob.
He sent me this awesome Hop Horn Beam bow as a gift in the Christmas trade, I love the bow, I have been shooting it for a few weeks now and plan to hunt with it next fall.
Here are the stats...
HHB that Bob harvested himself in the spring on his property in Ohio, he seasoned it for two years, took it down to bow dimensions and let it sit for another 5 months.
It's his first reflex/deflex design, it's 65" tip to tip. At 26" it pulls about 60lbs., not sure of the poundage, Bob tillered it by eye without a scale.
Tip over lays are walnut, tiger wood and blood wood.
The finish is,1 coat of boiled wild black berries, 1 coat of oak stain,1 coat of cherry stain, 1 coat of walnut stain and 7 coats of Tru Oil.
It has a red leather grip and a D97 string.
I would like to enter this bow for Hunterbob in the BOM contest.

Kevin

Awesome looker. I'd like to see an unbraced pic of the whole bow.. It looks like it begins to taper down in width around midlimb, and the deflex isn't sudden at the handle but happens a bit past it?

Oh, that is pretty cool.  I love how it keeps the perfect R/D profile, esp at full draw, while still having some lumps and wiggles for character.  Nice!

Thanks for the compliments on the bow. I am glad you like it Kevin and are shooting it. I would really like to see you take some game with it.  And to win BOM would be icing on the cake for both of us. I hope it makes you a great bow for many of years. That is probably no definitely the nicest tip overlays I have ever put on a bow . It my my pleasure to gift you that bow Kevin.

I thought so Bob. That sure turned out nice buddy.  I think you sent me some pictures of this one a while back.  Sure looks a lot different all finished up! Good job!

Thank you Patrick for your finishing tips. I will never put true oil on a bow any other way now.

Post by: lebhuntfish on January 23, 2017, 11:48:45 pm

You are very welcome bud, Tru oil is an awesome finish and it can be pretty versatial as well. Its my favorite finish thats for sure. Im glad I could help you out with it.

Bob,
There are a lot of excellent bows entered in the BOM contest this month, the competition is very stiff and all entry's deserve to win.
I voted for your bow, not just because I am lucky enough to own it but also because it is the bow that took down the wild giant yeti and helped make Buffalogobbler one of the greatest bow hunters of all time!

Kevin
